Start Time        10:00 am Thursday September 13th
Departure Time   8:00 pm Thursday September 20th

Before we started, this is what it looked like...

Looks like you are going to need to track down Tyrone Biggums and buy yourselves a lot of CRACK to get that done in time.....





Im going to venture to guess with all that crack smoking and wrenching you arent going to have time to keep us updated.... GOOD LUCK!!!

Ok, the other day i cut off the front clip, but then i got to working on a customer's truck that's getting overdue. Trunkz worked on it some more later that day, and he and i worked on it Sunday morning.




We're not too further along than that, so i'll probably drop my rebuilt motor into the 4Runner below and we'll take that one down.



I know this one will wheel good, cause my friend Tom Oberle and i tested it already...



Yeah, i know i'm Off-Topic, but just letting people know we're changing 4Runners. We'll be back to building the black one after the Sept 22-23 Arkansas trail run.

Trunkz doesn't have the money or time to work on that black 4runner, and we never made it to the Sept. Flat Nasty trail run, so i'm just gonna scrap the dang thing and work on more worthy projects.

Thought i'd let any (un)interested parties know what's up, 'stead of just deleting the thread.

:flamer:  :rivers:

Parts are available if anybody needs any. There's another one sitting next to it that's going to the boneyard too.
